Who doesn't like computer hardware if it's something that will make your work go faster and your play more fun? Unfortunately, it's a complicated and technical world and just when you think it's starting to make sense it seems to change almost overnight. Even worse, it's one of the shortest-term investments you can make with your money. Naturally, this presents some serious financial problems when considering a computer upgrade. Ken is no exception to this rule, so if you were expecting a spiffy web page loaded with benchmarks and reviews of the latest doohickeys you came to the wrong place. Try the links at the top for people who have money and connections for such extravagance. However, if you'd like some wise tidbits, informative links, or just a peek under the hood at Ken's own computer you're in the right spot. Read on. |

Kudos: Lamar Stoops and Spyro Tzemos, Energy Science and Technology, and Lamar's son Ken set up donated computers for use in a Sunset View Elementary classroom in Kennewick. Schoolteacher Jennifer Quesnell wanted to publicly thank Spyro, Lamar and Ken for their help in getting her classroom "a little closer to the goal of Internet access for classroom projects and research." The computers were purchased with DOE funds and then excessed, when replaced with newer equipment. These excessed Laboratory-managed computers are made available to public schools by the Laboratory's Equipment Gift and Distribution Programs. |
Do you find that you spend more time getting your computer to work than actually working? Maybe you are a slave to technology.
Have you ever tried to explain computers to your mom?

The second incarnation of Ken's secondary computer, Valhalla offers greatly increased possibilities. For the first time Ken has another computer with the power to run Descent II and Shadow Warrior, so he uses it as a LAN gaming station. With a full tower case this computer is a natural server as well and Ken plans to set it up in his future home to run MP3s and even DVD movies. Big thanks to Bob W for some of the parts. |
